I have nothing to report and I'm really really cranky about the whole job search thing. I was thisclose to getting the job at the trade association in Chicago and then, nope. They really led me to believe that I was the one they wanted. I had even practically given them my firstborn child as part of the required background check and then, nope. The extra shitty part of it is that they called (when I wasn't home) and told me they wanted to talk to me as part of a three-person conference call. I figured this was good news, right? I mean, why would they need more than one person to tell me I was rejected. When I called them back the next day and left a message, instead of returning my call they just emailed me the rejection note. Pretty bizarre, right?
Other than that, though, I feel like I'm at the end of the rope in terms of available opportunities. It doesn't help that every time I sit down to actually compose cover letters these days, I cannot focus on it. (This being a prime example of that.) I guess I'm extra cranky due to this drought... since September I've had at least one interview each week, but that streak has ended here the first couple of weeks of January. I guess that's to be expected a little but it's still ultra frustrating.
Today I saw this job posting for a job in Washington DC that I totally want. This marks the third time it's been posted in the last year, though, and yes, I've already applied both prior times. So do I send my resume a third time? Either they are horrible at choosing someone or they just haven't gotten around to filling the position yet. And if the latter is the case, then why the heck don't they actually spend a little more time looking at the resumes in front of them before posting the ad again? It's so so aggravating!
